WoT: 1.25 Release Notes
Operation Overlord
Starting June 6 and running until July 3, the game introduces a new event, Operation Overlord. You can find it in the Stories game mode under the Operation Overlord tab or via the event banner in the Garage. The Operation Overlord event operates without a game economy. Players will have the opportunity to control the M4A3E8, a participant in the 1944 landings.
The event features several missions that reward victorious battles in Operation Overlord with valuable prizes. These include unique historical 2D styles that commemorate the role Allied soldiers played in the Normandy landings. Each mission is a one-time opportunity. On June 13, we will introduce additional missions with rewards.
The event offers two difficulty levels: Regular and Rigorous. Each level comes with its own enemy difficulty level, missions, and rewards. If you complete missions on the Rigorous difficulty, you will automatically complete the Regular ones and receive rewards for both levels.
Frontline
We are relaunching Frontline Episode 4 as the new Episode. Battles will follow the rules of one of three randomly selected scenarios. We have also fixed some issues.
New Achievement System
We have added a new Achievement system to the game. This system tracks the player’s progress in collecting vehicles and customization. As players complete achievements, they earn Achievement Points, reflecting their overall progress in the system.
The Achievement system includes an Achievement Catalog, which lists all available and upcoming achievements for completion. The Catalog shows overall progress on achievements and their categories. We have added four categories:
- Vehicles: Shows progress by vehicle type and the presence of vehicles on the player’s account. It includes vehicles available in the player’s Garage and vehicles researched in national Tech Trees.
- National: Displays progress by branches within nations’ Tech Trees. For vehicles from Tiers I through V, players can obtain two unique achievements for each nation. For Tier VI and higher vehicles, players are awarded personalized achievements earned in branches.
- Customization: Tracks progress in collecting 2D styles, 3D styles, and progressive decals.
- Trophies: A special category of achievements, the Trophy section, documents achievements related to vehicles from notable events, rewards, and progressions that are no longer available. Achievements come in two types: regular and cumulative. Regular achievements require one condition to be fulfilled and grant +10 Achievement Points. Cumulative achievements require a series of achievements/conditions to be completed and grant +50 Achievement Points upon completion.
As players progress through the Achievement system’s Total Vehicles category, they can earn new animated Dog Tags. These tags feature embedded ranks, with even the highest available rank having its own presentation animation during the pre-battle countdown. By default, only the owner can see the animated Dog Tags. We have added a new item to the game Settings to disable this functionality.
Each new animated Dog Tag has its own unique rank:
- Tank Master
- Chief of Armor
- Supreme Commander In total, players can access over 600 new achievements and over 7,000 Achievement Points.
Battle Pass
The event will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings and will introduce new customization elements and vehicles inspired by real historical events.
